What does WAIVE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To voluntarily give up a right, claim or requirement.
When a person or organisation decides to waive something, they choose not to use or insist on a right that they legally hold, often as a courtesy or in exchange for something else. Universities may waive an application fee for students facing hardship, and a court can waive a formal requirement when it serves no useful purpose in a particular case. The choice to waive is always voluntary, which sets it apart from having a right taken away or refused by someone else. The related noun waiver names the document or statement that records this decision.
